    What is miso paste, anyway?

    two miso paste.

    Miso paste is fermented soybean paste and a traditional Japanese condiment that adds complexity to any dish. With its unique umami flavor, it can transform simple dishes into something special.

    It brings many health benefits for you as we have an old saying that eating miso every day keeps you away from a doctor.

    Miso soup - flavorful and comforting classic soup has been one of the most popular dishes featuring miso paste for centuries!

    📋 Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

    Ingredients for miso mayo dipping sauce.
    • Miso paste - I use lighter-colored miso paste. White miso paste is the way to go for a sweet and mild taste. If you're looking for more rich flavor, try red miso.
    • Mayonnaise - I use store-bought Japanese mayonnaise, also known as "Kewpie mayo," which is slightly sweeter and tangier than traditional mayonnaise. You can also make your own mayo by combining egg yolk, rice vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, and vegetable oil (see the recipe here).

    Where to buy

    If you live in the US, you can find Japanese ingredients in the list below.

    • Japanese grocery stores: Mitsuwa marketplace, Marukai
    • Asian grocery stores
    • Whole foods market
    • Health food stores
    • Online stores: Instacart, Walmart, Amazon

    Crispy vegetables and a delicious dip make for the perfect snack combination! Whenever I need something savory and crunchy - this is my go-to.

    Vegetables for dipping - I usually pick carrot, cucumber, and daikon, but any fresh vegetable goes well. I also like bell peppers, broccoli, zucchini, and celery.
